    Thumbs up The Carbon-Jet

    It's been awhile since I posted PICS of the "JET"--but I just recently made a few interior carbon upgrades---(A big Thanks to John at MAcarbon for talking me into getting the "Jet-Blue" 10M ring on the wheel! Nice call John!) I think the carbon interior juxtaposes nicely with the "Magnolia" interior. Can't think of anything else I can do to make it look cooler (In my opinion) but there are things to make it faster.....

    Enjoy.

    Have you considered the CF mirror stalks (pods) from PPI?

    MFAUDI...(what does that stand for...)Try cf wrapping your pods to see if it's worth it to you. PPI pods run 900.00 + labor= BIG money, for a small change in the look. I think I like the new look, but will take the car out to the streets in a few minutes, to know for sure. Will post pics. Heck , I may re-do one side...then I'll have a basic template...what is your location? Please update your sig.

    Re: The Carbon-Jet

    Hehe very nice car mate. I have a jet blue car as well. I have sooo much carbon on the exterior but no carbon interior. I didnt bother as I never had the carbon interior trim. But you dont either and the bit of carbon you have added looks amazing. May have to get a carbon steering wheel :P

    Mark25 , which car are U referring to? My car needs a cf radio surround to be complete for me. My favorite int. mod has to be the PPI steering wheel. Once you lay your hands on it, you will not be able to let go. I can't say enough about this wheel. Others have tried to mimic it, but don't quite reach it's awesomeness. IRO (in our opinion)

    PPI wheel also my favorite int. mod, it's something you feeling every minute you are driving car. Wheel mod is a must and doesn't need to be PPI. Many good ones that will do it. Think my wheel helped get my car as a banner shot

    Fellow "Blue-Angel-Pilot": HA!!! LOVE IT! MF is actually the initials to my name but I love the double-entendre---you can take it anyway you want choose! Would love to see the PICS of the PPI stalks. Does the CF-Weave match-up?? I'm in INDY---but I did look for your car last August when I spent the week in San Diego. I did see a silver R8 in La Jolla.

    Re: The Carbon-Jet

    Get the thick CF wheel---you won't regret it. Makes for a much enhanced driving experience---(And I would through caution to the wind and get the "ring".)
